GRR Reviews Don't Date Your Brother's Best Friend by Cami Checketts

Trey had explored the world as an adrenaline junkie adventurer, but coming home and meeting Ella left him stunned... How could he had NEVER noticed the sassy beauty, now all grown up?  It helps that Ella had a crushed on him since middle school. However, Trey's reputation as a love-em-and-leave-em guy, not to mention her brother (and his best friend) are both warning him to stay away and don't break her heart. Can he convince her (and her brother) to give him a chance?

Sweet, but the plot's been done bajillion times before. 4/5

GRR Reviews Chasing the Ball Girl by Trish Williford

Ryan Cruz is a man-whore, and being the star pitcher of the Blue Birds means he gets plenty of female attention anywhere he goes. Until he noticed their ball girl at the annual ball...  // Ball Girl Sammie just wanted to finish college (in pharmacology) and there are only a few months to go. She cannot afford any distractions, even though she has a crush on Ryan for years. When Ryan noticed her, she declined, knowing his playboy ways. So what does a player have to do, to prove he's no longer a player?

Kinda sweet, kinda stupid and lashing out at the wrong moment, with the right amount of groveling for the grand gesture. 3.5/5

GRR Reviews Claiming Her V-card by Lindsey Hart

Blaze is the smoking hot boss that seems to have a different women every week or even every day, and all the female employees ogle him every day. Except Colette. She can't stand the guy. When the internal app contest was announced, Colette was surprised that the prize was... "anything you ask... within reason".  So guess who won? Colette, of course. So what favor will Collette ask her smoking hot boss? "Please take my v-card."  Even she can't believe she asked him of that. She didn't know Blaze wanted her for a long time, as she's the forbidden fruit, the only woman he can't seem to charm. He will woo her properly, to get her warmed up, else it won't be fun.  Maybe he isn't the jerk he seems to be?

It's a LITTLE better than I expected, as after the initial meet-cute there was some heat and deeper character development, but I never really got the "sass" or "chemistry" between the two. And the darkest hour is basically a confession, then it's a slightly novel variation of "run away to sort my feelings". 3/5

GRR Reviews Best of Intentions by LK Farlow

Nate and Jenny are acquaintances. Nate's little sister is Jenny's best friend. Nate and Jenny are NOT a couple, and they have different ideas about love. Nate's a bit of playboy, love-em-and-leave-em kinda guy, and a cop. Jenny's mate-for-life kinda girl, but strong and beautiful and sassy. But Jenny has had a crush on Nate for a long time. And after a wedding, it was the perfect chance to get a taste of Nate. It'd be just for one night... Except it's never really that simple.

Okay, nice job throwing diabetes there for Jenny to deal with in addition to life. You'll get an explanation for why Nate's the way he is, and he did change. Not too angst-y. 4/5

GRR Reviews Boss I Love to Hate by Mia Kayla

Brad is one of the three brothers running a big printing business. Sonia is his secretary, and obviously will NOT sleep with the boss. In fact, she was strictly ordered NOT to by the other two brothers. Brad can be horribly annoying that Sonia told others he's BILK (boss I'd like to kill) but Brad's actually not that bad in private... When Sonia found out that her ex, along with his new girl, was invited to a wedding she must attend, she panicked. She hadn't dated in a long time, and in desperation, she asked her boss, Brad, to pose as her date, even if she had to cash in a favor... It'd be easy for Brad, right? Except this time, Brad knew who he wanted to complete his family... Sonia...

Good combination, hot-for-boss mixed with fake-date-to-show-my-ex. The problem is Sonia's self-inadequacy... Why must she have a fake date, just to show her ex off? It's sorta understandable, yet kinda laughable at the same time. Brad's a nicely complex character. The order NOT to sleep with Brad was because Brad had seduced several secretaries before, and cause more than a few problems. That's a bit... cliched trope aka "manwhore". 4/5
